Sure has been a long, long road
That I’ve been down
Sometimes it amazes me
I’m still around
Yeah, you’re right
I got it wrong
Many more times than I could say
Still, you learn to let it make you strong
And how much you have to pay

And the highs have been high
The lows have been lonely
I took on every test
Courage got me some of the way
Dumb luck did the rest

Made some people smile
I made some people cry
Sometimes passions have just run wild
Sometime I’ve walked on by
Looking back
At the years behind
You work out what to choose
Time goes by
And then you find
Your own way of singing the blues

And the highs have been high
The lows have been lonely
I took on every test
Courage got me some of the way
Dumb luck did the rest

And you claw your way through
The chaos and clutter
The weeping wounds and scars
We may all be in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars.
